I have a week off, it’s great. Lots of time to spend with my family. Doing family things, not work things. I have restarted this blog just this last couple of days and ideas and things to write about are running through my mind almost 24/7.
One of the great benefits I have started to experience after starting with Getting Things Done is the idea of always having an UCD aka Ubiquitous Capturing Device. Most of the time I carry two, a digital one and a analog one. The digital one is my Treo 680 mobile phone. It is running Palm OS that I have been using for a lot of years now. I have a little Desk Accessory installed, called TodoDA. With just one button click I can enter a task really quickly.
Within seconds the idea is from my mind into my trusted system. I use this one most of the time. For brainstorming and when I am at my desk and ideas start to pour in, I use a simple notepad and a pencil.
To give you an idea, only today during a lovely visit to a railroad museum with a nice dinner after the visit I collected more than a dozen things. They just pop up and now they are in my system. About three of the ideas of today are actually ideas for topics to write about here, so stay tuned.
